Chelsea midfielder ace confirmed to leave

Arsenal and Tottenham are reportedly tipped to sign Chelsea midfielder Kante for free, as the France international is likely to leave Stamford Bridge as a free agent at the end of the season. The experienced midfielder is a Chelsea legend, but he has been plagued by injuries of late and has played just two games so far this season. Kante’s contract with Chelsea is set to expire in June 2023 and there are no signs of an extension.

A report from French outlet Foot Mercato claims that Kante understands that Chelsea will not do everything in their power to extend his contract and that the 31-year-old French midfielder has moved to other teams since then, but wants to stay. London. That means Arsenal and Tottenham are expected to be potential destinations for Kante after he leaves Stamford Bridge. The paper claims that Kante will leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer at the end of the season, as his departure will save Chelsea a huge wage bill, with the French star currently earning close to 10 million euros per season.

In the past three seasons, Kanter has suffered frequent injuries that have prevented him from playing normally. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal and Tottenham will sign Kante, as they may feel the player is past the prime of his career and it is not worth keeping him. The availability of a world-class defensive midfielder for free, though, could persuade Arsenal and Tottenham to take a gamble on Kante, given the World Cup winner’s unforgettable experience in the Premier League.
